We describe methods to determine all the possible torsion groups of an elliptic curve that actually appear over a fixed quadratic field. We use these methods to find, for each group that can appear over a quadratic field, the field with the…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

We prove the following variant of Helly's classical theorem for Hamming balls with a bounded radius. For $n>t$ and any (finite or infinite) set $X$, if in a family of Hamming balls of radius $t$ in $X^n$, every subfamily of at most…

We study Poletsky-Stessin Hardy spaces on complex ellipsoids in C^n. Different from one variable case, classical Hardy spaces are strictly contained in Poletsky-Stessin Hardy spaces on complex ellipsoids so boundary values are not…

The problem that we consider is the following: given an $n \times n$ array $A$ of positive numbers, find a tiling using at most $p$ rectangles (which means that each array element must be covered by some rectangle and no two rectangles must…

We introduce and study properties of phyllotactic and rhombic tilings on the cylin- der. These are discrete sets of points that generalize cylindrical lattices. Rhombic tilings appear as periodic orbits of a discrete dynamical system S that…

For a degree sequence, we define the set of edges that appear in every labeled realization of that sequence as forced, while the edges that appear in none as forbidden. We examine structure of graphs whose degree sequences contain either…

We introduce {\em quadri-tilings} and show that they are in bijection with dimer models on a {\em family} of graphs $\{R^*\}$ arising from rhombus tilings. Using two height functions, we interpret a sub-family of all quadri-tilings, called…

Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…

We introduce and study arithmetic polygons. We show that these arithmetic polygons are connected to triples of square pyramidal numbers. For every odd $N\geq3$, we prove that there is at least one arithmetic polygon with $N$ sides. We also…

This article addresses the problem of enumerating the tilings of a plane by lozenges, under the restriction that these tilings be doubly periodic. Kasteleyn's Pfaffian method is applied to compute the generating function of those…

We find the exact formula for the number of distinct $n \times n$ square patterns which appear in a Robinson tiling made of one infinite order supertile.

We calculate the generating functions for the number of tilings of rectangles of various widths by the right tromino, the $L$ tetromino, and the $T$ tetromino. This allows us to place lower bounds on the entropy of tilings of the plane by…

An irregular vertex in a tiling by polygons is a vertex of one tile and belongs to the interior of an edge of another tile. In this paper we show that for any integer $k\geq 3$, there exists a normal tiling of the Euclidean plane by convex…

Given any positive integer n, we prove the existence of infinitely many right triangles with area n and side lengths in certain number fields. This generalizes the famous congruent number problem. The proof allows the explicit construction…

We develop the basic and new tools for classifying non-side-to-side tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles. Then we prove that, if the triangle has any irrational angle in degree, such tilings are: a sequence of 1-parameter families…

The study of pattern avoidance in permutations, and specifically in flattened partitions is an active area of current research. In this paper, we count the number of distinct flattened partitions over [n] avoiding a single pattern, as well…

Every real hyperbolic form in three variables can be realized as the determinant of a linear net of Hermitian matrices containing a positive definite matrix. Such representations are an algebraic certificate for the hyperbolicity of the…

We apply the theory of Groebner bases to the study of signed, symmetric polyomino tilings of planar domains. Complementing the results of Conway and Lagarias we show that the triangular regions T_N=T_{3k-1} and T_N=T_{3k} in a hexagonal…

Aperiodic tiling is a well-know area of research. First developed by mathematicians for the mathematical challenge they represent and the beauty of their resulting patterns, they became a growing field of interest when their practical use…
